However, in Luoshui County, even a Secondary Eighth-Rank Official was truly a notable figure.
The Chief Arrest Officer at the government office was merely a Secondary Eighth-Rank Official.
True Standard Eighth-Rank Officials were so rare in all of Luoshui County that they could be counted on one's fingers.
The County Magistrate was one, a Standard Eighth-Rank.
The Senior Officer of the City Guard Department was another, also a Standard Eighth-Rank.
...
As for those above the Eighth Rank, there were only two Seventh-Rank high officials in all of Luoshui County.
The Master Wang outside the city, and the County Lord inside the city.
And who were these two people?
One was a prominent figure wielding military power, in charge of the stationed troops and capable of mobilizing the City Guard Department.
